From what I've seen, this only happens once. After you get it working, and keep it updated, it shouldn't be an issue.
In any case, all these problems only seem to happen with Manjaru.
Keep in mind that the power light doesn't really indicate "power on". It indicates that some software turned it on. So you can roughly determine at what point the boot process stopped. You *might* be able to make a bootable SD card and recover the system from there. At least some versions of U-Boot that come with Manjaru do not allow you to boot that way. But it's worth a try; you should have a bootable SD card for emergency boot purposes anyway.
You can find bootable images in the wiki. The one I've used successfully for this purpose is DietPi.
